Greetings, fellow cultivators! Today, I'm thrilled to share the grand finale of our journey with the remarkable Big Cheese Auto from Seeds Mafia. At day 81 from seed, she reached the pinnacle of her splendor, and the harvest was nothing short of spectacular. As I gently snipped each ripe bud, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty and resilience of our Big Cheese Auto. From the moment she emerged as a seedling, she embodied strength, vigor, and an unwavering determination to flourish. Now, as she hangs upside down to dry for the next two weeks, I'm filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of witnessing her growth. Our journey with the Big Cheese Auto has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the excitement of germination to the meticulous care during vegetative growth, from the anticipation of flowering to the aromatic crescendo of the harvest, each phase has been a testament to the plant's resilience and the joy of cultivation. The journey began with a tiny seed, a promise of potential waiting to be fulfilled. With the nurturing support of the Autopot system and the guidance of Aptus Holland's nutrients, our Big Cheese Auto thrived, transforming into a botanical marvel with each passing week. From the emergence of her first true leaves to the explosion of trichome-rich buds, she captivated us at every turn. A heartfelt thank you to Seeds Mafia for providing the genetics that sparked this incredible journey. Your seeds have not only produced exceptional plants but have also inspired a community of passionate cultivators. Your dedication to quality and innovation is truly commendable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to cultivate such remarkable genetics. Before the trimming and curing process begins, I took the time to capture the beauty of our Big Cheese Auto in a special photo shoot. Each snapshot is a testament to her magnificence, a visual ode to the journey we've shared together. To the entire community, both near and far, thank you for accompanying me on this horticultural odyssey. Your support, encouragement, and shared passion for cultivation have made this journey all the more rewarding. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey! Wishing you all abundant harvests and joyful cultivation endeavors ahead!

Just started them all on the Green Buzz Liquid Organics and will run it the rest of the way. I'm not going to add much to the line just some calmag, enzymes maybe terpinator I have to experiment with it a little bit. The first feed went extremely well the plants instantly reacted within an hour after the feed especially the next day. The additives in this line barely raised PPM at all which I liked. It also doesnt stink like other liquid organics I've used. The big one is very healthy and got some light defoliation 2 days ago. The small runt has looked like dog shit and still does but after the feed it reaches for the sky for the first time in a while.

I probably won't grow this strain again, just due to the growing difficulties, short lifespan, and low yield, although the bud is definitely quality. I learned a lot as this was my first grow, and the next I'm hoping for better yield quantities.

Been flushing about two weeks, started using Sledgehammer today for the last week, already noticed a lot more red/purple in the buds since.

Topped N1. Using only water, and gave a dose of compost tea i have brewed, follows the recipe: ———Basic tea with a twist #1——— 20l unclorinated water, using a filter, but vitamin c powder is an option or aerating for 12 to 48h. 1 cup worm castings 1 cup bokashi 1/3 cup molasses, unsulfured organic. 2 1/2 tbsp Recharge Brew aerating for 24h, using a Hydro air pump. EC was at 0.4 and PH a bit low but used full strength no ph adjustment. A basic tea would be only worm castings and molasses. For a nutrient tea is possible to add kelp extract, fish emulsion, bat guano and so on, best to check the EC specially if using guanos before using full strength... Watering schedule is more or less every other day 1 liter. Tea every third watering +-... Next week Biobizz will enter the schedule in a discrete dosage. For this strain i’m Running two plants, one is behind.

It’s Aliiiiiiive! Finally built my second matching hybrid NFT hydro system after getting the autos out of the main tent. 6” Rockwool cubes on draining racks in 8 gallon totes with an 8 gallon res. Waiting on some parts from amazon to add the second pump and feeding tubes. Hoping to veg them for 3-4 weeks before I flip the schedule. Haven’t decided if I want to scrog them yet or not.

Ok just finnished a blunt of this a out an hour ago, and I do not smoke blunts lol But it seems only right too do a real smoked reveiw , So the fbt7 has been dry now for about 2 weeks and in a jar and today was the day too take the first bud too try so I rolled a fat one " fat one in photos lol , So for me the flavour just isn't there yet and am hoping that will come after a cure , So I smoked this all too my self and qiukly , Within a few minutes I went white as a ghost as was twitching the the corner hehehe, This is very strong bud and I would go as far as saying it's probably the strongest bud I've had in years , I am what I would describe as a joker smoker , as I turn my bud into oils and do not smoke it , But any serious cannabis smoker will absolutely love this strain , Well done fast buds and thank you :)

We have our AK-47 running in a water pitcher lol. Honestly because i wanted to try a transplant and wanted to see the roots develop on Autoflowers. Also, we were out of planting pots when we transplanted. 😬🤦‍♂️ The pitcher is filled with Fox Farms Happy Frog soil. So far AK-47 is very fast. Transplant didnt stunt her at all. (From jiffy cube into soil) When I transplanted her we made sure her taproot was still inside the netting of the Pod.(just an observation) Stats: Vivosun 2x4 tent 1Gal water pitcher Fox Farms;Happy Frog soil 2x viparspectra 600w refractive LEDs Durabreeze carbon filter 4" inline fan

A few plants are a few days behind the others from germination speed but overall I'm really happy with outcome so far for my first grow. Any tips for a first time grower outdoors? also considering putting a few of the plants indoors if I can find room for my setup in the upcoming week.

Day 50 - Starting off week 5 and she’s smelling amazing. Not very strong throughout the house but as soon as the tent is opened, you can smell the tropical citrus. Gave her the first feeding of the week today and just counting down till chop, still a couple weeks away but she’s filling in and fattening up nicely. Day 51 - Nothing new to report today. She’s doing her thing and I’m just enjoying watching the growth and fattening each day. Day 52 - Think she’s just about done stretching, hopefully she’s starting to move on to the fattening up more part. Gave her some fresh pH’d water today and seems happy. Day 53 - All is good, just updating pics for the day. Day 54 - All still looking good and gave her the second and final feeding of the week. Waiting for her to really start bulking up in the next couple weeks before chopping but looks like she’s still got plenty of time left.

This grow looks a lot larger then what it is, gorilla zkittlez came out light and fluffy but still a solid 9.1 oz yeild in a 4x4 tent sharing the space with girlscout cookies She grew a little rough at the start during veg but once she got back to health she really took off Heavy feeder she would always drink more and be lighter green then the girlscout cookies Had a reveg mishapp around week 3 and 4 in flower which caused her to stretch a lot, none the less she still stacked up on some colas Due to heat and too much light the buds turned out really fluffy compared to girlacout cookies Buds are nice and frosty with lots of orange hairs tho Smelling like lemon peels and gummy Candy with a hint of that earthy smell Harvested on day 77 she was at the end of week 10, hunger her up in the basement where temps were about 70-73 and humidity around 55% stable for 5 days Trimmed off all the fan leaves and some sugar leaves to aid in the drying process Was low on stash and wanted to harvest instead of buying more Finally have enough to keep me stocked up will next harvest! Just from one plant Still have the girlscout cookies to weigh up aswell and she had better buds None the less easy grow specially for the last 3-4 weeks as I ran out of nutrients I just gave them the odd watering ph to 6.0 but she got waterings as low as 5.5 and High as 7.1 and didn't effect the growth Although I could of gotten a larger yeild or denser buds with nutrients up untill the last week She didn't die nor slow down during the last few weeks and doubled in bud size pressing out nicely im sure ill be doing a lot of it with this bud

Hi ! 😎 I'm really impressed by theses plants, they are in stretch phase and they grow so fast 😵 i'm a bit worried about their final height xD this is massive plants for a GT205 😆 i should've put only 1 plant by tank . i cut some leaves so the light can penetrate more ( it was very bushy before ) and to decrease humidity ( leaves were always wet during light time ) They are stil drinking a lot ! i have to add 10L on each tank each 2 days ! 💪💪 i guess they'll take another 15/20 cm during the next week xD i'll have to up the lamp and maybe put the fan outside the tent to get more space See you next week 🙏
